Cramps but no AF

Still no period. Two BFNs so now think it is just the after effects of the pill- lovely. I have been having stomach cramps on and off since the day I was due on. I am really uncomfortable and bloated at the moment, so I think my body knows I am due a period. My stomach is really distended and I've been having a lot of discharge (sorry if tmi).

I've just ordered agnus castus off ebay- is this likely to bring the period on? I can't go on like this- I'm back at work tomorrow and feel so uncomfortable- plus it can't be doing my body any good can it? I don't want to go to doctors as my auntie is a receptionist there and she's quite nosey. Plus I wouldn't want her blabbing to my mum.

Hi Sarah!!!Yes that happened to me - I think I told you this in another thread so I apologise if I'm repeating my self!I had one withdrawl bleed at 6 weeks when came off the pill then waited 21 weeks for my real a/f which was 19 days ago!I tried the vits and agnus castus recommend on this site - http://www.marilynglenville.com/general/amenorrhoea.htmBecause what you have is not abnormal at all!!!!!Before my a/f arrive - about a month before I had cramps for 5 days and NOTHING - not even a spot - quite disheartening but it's just your body adjusting!After about 3 weeks of taking the vitamins and agnus castus I had a PERIOD!!! Hooray - and I'm now on my first month ttc - so it will happen hun - hang in there!!!XXXX

hi sarah,im not sure how long you've been waiting for af but after coming off pill i had to wait 90days for frist af. i was terribly bloated and had cramps...drs generally arent interested until its been at least 3 months with no af, but you really shouldnt let your aunt put you off going! even if she is your aunt shes legally obliged to keep your details confidential.hope your ok hon, and really hope af arrives soon (dont write that often on this site ) x

Hi confused.Am 5 days past No show AF. Had bad cramps about 2 days up to and including day of AF but they disappeared next day.Agnus castus will either lengthen or shorten cycles by sorting out your hormones, not sure it'll bring on a period though worth a try.Your aunt doesn' have to know what your going in for to see the doctor, make up something. Also as said before shes bound by confidentiality and must not say anything as she could be sacked for doing so.Good lucka and babydust. Filo x

Thanks for your replies- this is so frustrating isn't it. I really hope I don't have to wait months, but it is looking that way according to what you have all experienced. I'm just so glad I didn't come off the pill with the intention of getting pregnant straight away because I think I would have been extremely disappointed!

I will try the agnus castus and see what happens. Anything is worth a try. I don't think I shall ever go back on the pill again- I think back now to all the times I used to have the packets back to back and not allow my body to have a withdrawal bleed and it worries me. Why do the doctors never tell you of all this when you start taking the pill?

i know how you feel hon, i felt really awful for months after coming off the pill, dizzy spells, nausea, headaches, mood swings, cramps, bloating and probably more that ive forgotten about. i really dont think ill ever go back on the pill again. like you say the drs only tell you about the side effects of going on it, not of coming off it! it cant be that good for you if it makes you feel so rotten afterwards can it??hope you get your af soon x

hi it took 12 months before my periods righted and i think i had a bout 3 in that time period! 3 months after became reg i got bfp so long haul, now thinking of trying no 2 and not relishing all the messed up periods again or expense of testing!!!!! xxx

Hi. Not period for 4 mnths for me after soming off the pill. So annoying!!!! So bloated and fat and totally dont feel myself. Had blood tests done at my doctors but results today all normal. My gp didnt really wanna know tbh but I went back after I missed 3 periods and then they did the tests. Your auntie has to keep everything confidental its a legal requirement! x

How long has it been since your af was due? The symptoms you describe were exactly what I had and I was pregnant! Don't want to get your hopes up, I tested when my af was one day late and got a negative. I waited another 4 days and tested again and got a BFP straight away.

I was on microgynon for 9 years, I came off it and had two normal periods before ttc and was very lucky to have a normal cycle back straight away and no other effects other than heavier periods than whilst on the pill. Just to give you a positive story!
